February 2012 Moms

BFP--or holy cow, we are crazy!

We are going to have another little one joining our family around October 8th.  We  were definitely nuts, but we can't wait.  My husband was working nights, so I put C in a big sis shirt, and let her go into to get him when he woke up.  It took him a while to catch on because he had just woken up and didn't have his contacts in--but he was super pumped when he finally realized what her shirt actually meant!!

I am trying to do everything I can for the next 9 months to keep my partnership on track at work--I was supposed to be up for partnership next spring--right when I will just be coming back from my second maternity leave in two years.  Not exactly stellar timing, but I am just going to make myself so valuable in the next few months that they won't be able to afford to lose me--or something like that!  Actually, all I want to do right now when I put C to bed is go to sleep.  But I am hoping that superproductive Sooner is able to kick it into high gear at some point in the near future so that I don't lose an entire year of partnership.

Also, we need to buy a new car, as my current Saab is apparently the only normal 4-door car that can't seem to fit two carseats and even a very short passenger.  Since my husband is 6'3" and I am 6'0", that is just not going to work.

Finally, we are trying to figure out if we should sell our current house and move closer to my mom who babysits C from time to time.  If we move, we could get way more space and amenities, but we would lose our amazing nanny that we have now because she wouldn't be able to do the commute. 

 Ugh--so many things to think about, yet so very tired and unable to think! 

Hope you all are doing well and celebrating lots of birthdays!

    Thanks!  And I hope you know how much I like that ecard that is in your siggy :)

    Also, Ramona is pretty much the cutest ever in that snowsuit with ears--seriously adorable!

  • First, congratulations! I am so happy for you! 

    Second, I'm glad you are back. I missed having you around. How was Cs procedure? Hope it went well

    Thanks!  We figured we would go off BC at the beginning of the year, and then probably get pregnant around May or so (because I am still nursing C 4-5 times a day and it took a while when I got off the first time around to get everything regulated).   But...this time it happened a little quicker than we had anticipated!

    Missed my fellow Okie as well. Did you see we are supposed to have a snow storm tomorrow?  I am guessing it will probably be a dud, but who knows. 

    C got her first fever the night before the procedure was scheduled, so now we are booked for Feb. 23rd. I will let you know how it goes. 

  • I am hoping the snow sticks just for the fun of it, but I'm sure it will wind up just being rain.  

    Babies with fevers are no fun. It's just so sad. That's awesome though that C has gone almost a year without having one. Lyla had one at a month old :(  

    all of you getting pregnant is giving me baby fever which is a miracle. I would love to have another but I know lyla will need to be much older before she would be ready to have a baby around.

  • Congrats!  Good luck not getting derailed on the partner train - it's a hard road with mat leaves.  For the car seat, have you tried car-seat.org forums?  I want to say the Maxi Cosi has a very small depth...but at 6' it's indeed possible there is simply no other solution than a new car.  Anyway, on the forums you can search by make/model and see what has worked for the techs/parents that post there.

  • Congratulations! Every time I see a BFP post I get giddy!

    I was just saying on Facebook last night that I make sure and tell my husband every time a fellow February mom announces a pregnancy... I'm not quite ready to try yet, but when I am, I want him to be used to the idea and not think I am crazy! And FTR, I don't think you are crazy ;-)

    Good luck figuring out all the details! I have no doubts that you'll make partner right on schedule!

  • Congrats and welcome back!!! You and H are going to have some tall babies :-)

    I'm so excited that you're having another! You made too beautiful of a baby the first time to only have one! Big Smile

    Eta: for the record, I DO think you're [the good kind of] crazy, but that's ok. Crazy friends are the best kind to have!
